In the first half of this year, a variety of counterfeit goods could be described as "dazzling" on the list of infringing articles seized by Huanggang customs in Shenzhen. According to statistics, a total of 61 cases of intellectual property infringement were seized in the first half of the year. Infringing products 4937, the value of the case is over 5 million yuan.

In addition to freight channels, fake watches, fake cell phones, fake designer clothes and so on are mostly found in the baggage items carried by passengers in the travel inspection channel, showing signs of ants moving. In addition, trademark infringement is highly concealed. For example, the "Nike" trademark is printed as "NLke" and so on, intentionally changing letters or mistaking the case, playing the "edge ball", resulting in visual brand confusion.

In June this year, Huanggang Customs seized for the first time a number of antenna detectors that violated the domestic "SATIMO" brand logo. In July 5th, the company made administrative penalties on the parties involved in the infringement case, confiscated all the infringing goods and imposed a fine, and promptly avoided the reputation loss and economic loss of the counterfeit goods in the domestic market. Recently, the "SATIMO" brand intellectual property rights holder, Shenzhen Xinyi Technology Co., Ltd., presented a banner to Huanggang customs, praising the "guard of the national gate," for the enterprise.

"To investigate and punish products that infringe on their own intellectual property rights is of great significance for safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of domestic brands." The director of Huanggang customs introduced that, for this reason, the company held special lectures on genuine and fake products, invited representatives of intellectual property rights holders of many well-known brands to communicate face-to-face, imparting the skills of distinguishing genuine and fake products, and greatly enhanced the awareness and ability of intellectual property protection of front-line supervisors.

At the same time, it analyzes the infringement cases seized in the customs area, identifies key sensitive commodity lists, and actively promotes intellectual property rights publicity to enterprises. "On the one hand, it is to guide enterprises to abide by the law and self-discipline. On the other hand, it reminds enterprises that when accepting orders, we must pay attention to the possibility of infringement of the goods produced, and try to stop the emergence of infringing goods from the source." The person in charge said.

The official reminded the enterprises that the customs should adopt the measures of combining "active protection with passive protection" for intellectual property rights. Whether the right person is in the customs office or not, he can apply for customs protection against some suspected goods. And the enterprise which has already carried on the trademark right, right right and copyright record in the General Administration, is equivalent to "registered" in the customs ahead of time. As long as the enterprise meets the infringement matters, it can be protected by the customs of the whole country.
